why not get a herding dog. Things are bred to take on whole wolf/coyote packs and win while treating it's owners friends/family/sheep like precious children. They don't look like Fallout monsters to boot

herding dogs are awesome, but some of them are just too spastic/energetic for their own good and need lots of tasks to keep them occupied (re: border collies)

Perseverance does not equal worthiness. Next time you want to get my attention, wear something fun. Low-riding jeans are hot.
I don't mind any breed but Dachshunds; only dog that ever bit me. gently caress Dachshunds. I have a flat-coated retriever mix, though and most I have to worry about with him is he might lick someone to death.

Never have had any issue with a pibble, though.

http://www.livescience.com/27145-are-pit-bulls-dangerous.html

that article posted:

A five-year review of dog-bite injuries from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, published in 2009 in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, found that almost 51 percent of the attacks were from pit bulls, almost 9 percent were from Rottweilers and 6 percent were from mixes of those two breeds. In other words, a whopping two-thirds of the hospital's dog-attack injuries involved just two breeds, pit bulls and Rottweilers.

that article again posted:

A 15-year study published in 2009 in the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology revealed that pit bulls, Rottweilers and German shepherds were responsible for the majority of fatal dog attacks in the state of Kentucky.

that article one last time posted:

And a 2011 study from the Annals of Surgery revealed that "attacks by pit bulls are associated with higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges and a higher risk of death than are attacks by other breeds of dogs."

The authors of that 2011 study go on to say, "Strict regulation of pit bulls may substantially reduce the U.S. mortality rates related to dog bites."

Keep grinding,
I hope you level up! :)

Thing I didn't actually math but noticed when looking over those figures:

Southern and southernish states seem to be disproportionately represented. In 2014, of the 32 fatal attacks, 18 of them occurred in southern states. (Counting Florida, Texas and Missouri as Southern states).

With any dog, research the breeder and owner. 99% of the time it is the owner, not the dog, that is the source of a violent attack. Pitbulls just get a bad rap because most pit owners are douchebags looking to compensate for their failure at life.

Well, and the fact that pitbulls have some hosed up genetics.

WON'T SOMEBODY SAVE THAT GIRL FROM THOSE HELLHOUNDS!?

Some pit pulls are hosed up. Some golden retrievers are hosed up. Some dachsunds are hosed up. Turns out when you don't socialize a dog, it gets hosed up. Also turns out that when you marginalize a particular breed, thus making the only owners of said breed the type who don't properly socialize/train their dogs, or use them for bad purposes, you actively make the breed worse.

Of course, golden retrievers and dachsunds don't have jaws that can bite through the plumbing.

Maybe pit bulls are no more likely to snap than any other dog, but even if that is the case, when they do snap, they are a hell of a lot more dangerous.

All those people just made the dog nervous somehow. It was their fault, if they acted that way around a Maltese, it would have mauled them too.
